Biography
Ademaro Ballesteros Matos was born in Maracaibo, Venezuela in 1974, and he was commissioned into the Venezuelan Army as an officer. He took part in General Carlos Carmona's 2010 military coup, and he was listed as one of Universal Petroleum's "high-risk liabilities" (high-value targets) at the start of the Venezuelan Civil War. The mercenary Mattias Nilsson located Ballesteros just outside of the Maracaibo Airport, and Nilsson subdued and captured Ballesteros without much resistance; Ballesteros, who was alone at the time, fired a few shots before being captured. He was then loaded onto a Universal Petroleum helicopter and taken into captivity, and Nilsson was paid the bounty money.
